If your site requires validation and you decide to use JavaScript for
validation, then you have just made JavaScript a requirement to use your
site. There are browsers out there that don't support JavaScript, and there
are people (such as myself) who like to disable JavaScript when the browser
allows it. For an example of one of the many reasons a user might want to
disable JavaScript, enable JavaScript on your browser and go to this page:

In my opinion, using JavaScript to make things prettier or easier to use is
fine, but requiring it really annoys people who don't have it.
Perhaps you could put all the validation in the server, and duplicate some
of the validation in JavaScript so users with JavaScript don't have to wait
until after form submission to realize they made a mistake.
